(it won't turn sideways for me??)
Here is my twin belly the day they were born (38 weeks):
We got to the hospital at 11:30am on Friday and was induced at 12:45pm. They gave me the epidural and broke my water around 2:30. The epidural was incredibly painful- which I don't remember it hurting much with Brad. A couple hours later, my heart rate dropped a ton and I started to go into shock. I didn't know how to explain how I felt to the nurse besides the fact that I felt like the top half of my body was going numb and I was really claustrophobic. They tried moving me around and giving me oxygen which helped. Finally around 5:45pm, I was dilated to a 9 and they wheeled me off to the OR to deliver. I was able to have a natural delivery and everything went smooth. Evan came out head first within 3 pushes and Jared followed feet first a minute later. We stayed in the hospital for 24 hours and they let us go. It was so nice to be able to go home fast and sleep in our own bed without nurses coming in every hour. I did like the fact that we had a scheduled time to go to the hospital to deliver but other than that I do not want to be induced again. My experience was much better with Brad than it was with this delivery.
We love having these two new boys in our family. Brad isn't sure what to think of it though. Sometimes he is really cute with them by giving them his blanket or their binky, and other times he just walks up to them and hits them. He seems to be warming up to them though.

Beautiful babies and good job. We are so excited for you.
Wow, they are beautiful cute little ones. I'm so happy to hear you are all healthy, home and well. Congratz family of 5:).
Oh my gosh! They are here!! I guess I've been too carried away in my own life to remember that your pregnancy was soon to be over and then two little babies would be added to your family! How is it going? Is it a dumb question to ask if it's very hard??? I mean only one newborn is hard...so I can assume that two means you don't get much rest. Good luck to your cute family!
WOW!! HUGE CHANGE FOR YOUR HOUSE!! Glad Brad is warming up to them. I can't manage to find enough time in the day with just ONE BABY!! Congrats you guys

Joce!!! They r beautiful. I am so happy for you 2! U will have ur hands very very full. I admire u! Cant wait to see them in person someday hopefully sooner than later!
These babies look like clones of Brad. What cute little boys. You'll do fine with three babies. Do you have any help coming in? I hope so, at least for a while. My sister said her twins did better sleeping together in one crib. Course sometimes they looked like puppies lying on top of each other.
WOW! I'm glad that you were able to do the natural delivery like you wanted too... and one of them was breech! You must have an awesome doctor. Congrats!! You are amazing!!
Congrats!!! What a beautiful family!!!
Holy cow! Family of 5?!! How did that happen? They are adorable! Do you have any "OH CRAP" moments when for a second you can't tell who is who? LOL!
